US military strikes on January 3, 2026, targeted Caracas and captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who now faces federal drug trafficking charges in New York federal court; his recent March 27 appearance sought dismissal, citing sanctions blocking defense funding. No further US airstrikes or military actions have followed, as the Trump administration oversees a transitional government, threatening indictments against interim leader Delcy Rodríguez for compliance. Opposition leader María Corina Machado announced her return on March 1 amid fragile stability. Absent Venezuelan non-cooperation, regional backlash, or Maduro loyalist resurgence, escalation risks remain low, with traders monitoring court proceedings, diplomatic pressures, and potential snap elections for shifts in US foreign policy posture.

For the purposes of this market, a qualifying "strike" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones, or missiles (including FPV and ATGM strikes as well as cruise or ballistic missiles) launched by any United States operatives, including military forces, intelligence agencies, or other U.S. government operatives, that physically impact ground territory within Venezuela.
A strike on any area within the terrestrial territory (including rivers, lakes, ports, but excluding territorial sea) of Venezuela counts.
Missiles or drones that are intercepted and surface-to-air missile strikes will not be sufficient for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether they land on Venezuelan territory or cause damage.
Actions such as artillery fire, small arms fire, ground incursions, naval shelling, or cyberattacks will not qualify.
Any strike occurring during this market’s timeframe that is claimed by either Donald Trump or the U.S. government will qualify.
The primary resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
This market will remain open until the end of the second day after the resolution time. If the date/time of a qualifying strike cannot be confirmed by a consensus of credible reporting by that time, it will resolve to "No" regardless of whether a strike was later confirmed to have taken place.
